The Word of the Dead or Ayacucho at the Ninth Hour
"La palabra de los muertos o Ayacucho hora nona" is one of the most significant poetry collections of what has come to be called the period of violence for some, of the popular war for others, and which shook the political and social structures of the country. The former president of the Comision de la Verdad y Reconciliacion, Salomon Lerner Febres, says of the book: "Its reading certainly induces us to question and reject the conduct of those people who evaded their responsibilities, of those who hid behind the flippancy of calling the violence, abuse, poverty, and corruption wild fantasies."
